SIDEWALK SIGNATURES
John H. Dudley

Long Beach’s sidewalks contain impressed “signatures” of many construction companies and contractors who plied their trade in the city. If your ancestor owned or worked for one of those companies, our “Sidewalk Signatures” series will be of interest to you.

John H. Dudley was a cement worker who lived in the California Heights area of Long Beach at 3738 Orange Avenue with his wife Nelle. His insignia appears on many of the neighborhood’s sidewalks so he didn't have to travel far to go to work!
